BUILDING INSPECTIONS
John Batson, Inspector and Code Enforcement Officer
Welcome to the Building Inspections Department
for the
Town of Kure Beach!
The Building Inspections department serves the Town of Kure Beach by regulating all construction and maintenance of buildings so that they are safe and sanitary. The inspector performs building, zoning, flood and other code enforcement work to ensure compliance of buildings and property with property codes, ordinances and regulations.
Other Inspection Department duties include:
- Receiving applications for permits
- Issuing or denying permits requests
- Making all necessary inspections
- Issuing certificates of compliance
- Distributing orders to correct code violations
- Ability to bring judicial actions against violators
In September, 1977, the Town Council voted unanimously to adopt the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Implementation and Enforcement Plan. This plan established procedures to follow relating to issuance of minor development permits in areas of environmental concern along with methods of identifying and taking into account projects and impacts of regional, state and national concern. The plan also introduced procedures to ensure that the CAMA program was consistent with the approved Land Use Plan for Kure Beach.
In addition to our Building Inspector executing the above duties, he is the local CAMA permit officer designated by the Division of Coastal Management.

Because our Building Inspector is usually offsite, making rounds throughout the Town, he tries to be in his office Monday through Friday from 8:00-9:00am. To ensure that you will be able to meet with him to discuss your issue, please call him at 910-458-6535 to schedule an appointment or to leave him a voicemail, if he’s not available.
